Biden visited striking workers, Trump made a decision

US President Joe Biden visited striking workers in Michigan, where the factories of major auto companies are located, to support the strike organized by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.

Biden, who took the megaphone and addressed workers in the strike area of ​​General Motors employees, who are members of the UAW, said he supports the workers’ demand for a 40 percent pay increase and that they deserve ” much more”. “

“Businesses were in trouble, now they’re doing incredibly well,” Biden said. “You also need to be in incredibly good shape,” she said.

FIRST IN US HISTORY

This measure by Biden is considered an unprecedented situation in the history of the American presidency. While American congressmen and presidential candidates have frequently visited strikes to express solidarity with workers, it is considered unprecedented for a sitting president to do so.

Biden’s move also comes as Donald Trump is trying to make gains in critical states where unions are strong, such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

TRUMP WILL ALSO GO

While the effort to win workers’ support is considered part of the presidential race, Trump will go to Michigan and meet with striking workers instead of participating in the second debate show that will air tomorrow afternoon.

Some workers expressed dissatisfaction with the visit of Biden and former US President Donald Trump, saying: “We would prefer neither of them to come. “When you throw politics into the mix, it’s going to create controversy,” he said.
